Steering rack boots, impossible to install ?
The inspection on my Accord failed due to a bunch of suspension problems.
Among the problems is that both steering rack boots are torn and practically falling off. I ordered some new ones and I am finding it IMPOSSIBLE to get them on ( the large end). Is there a way to stretch them or something ? Keep in mind also that I am doing this on my back underneath the car. The new ones seem slightly smaller than the old ones that came off but I am sure that is due to being on the car for 20 years. Does anyone have any tips ? Thanks |
I've done this on my 95 without any issues.....did you get the boots from the dealer?
For me, the hardest part was playing with the little vent tube. |
I had some difficulty w/ new boots from Honda. I had to get right up close, lube inside of boot, and push hard. it might not hurt to "stretch" the boot, carefully to avoid damage. There is a groove in the reach the boot end ring will slip into when fully installed.
good luck |
